The dictionary tells us that TALENT is a natural endowment;
so therefore, we all should have a talent, right?Then again, we wonder why some of us easily
discover our talent and why the rest may take years to bring it to light.

Talent has been planted in us since conception, it’s simply
up to us to grow and develop them.

Talent is an ability
or natural capacity or potential that we have, which may range from our
creativity or intellect or social skills to our athletic abilities. We all have
talents, but we’re not always so good at identifying what they are. In fact,
our best talents can be right in front of us and we miss them. We’re so busy
searching for a talent we think is hot or lucrative, or sexy or fun, or more
like how we imagine our life being, that we overlook the actual tremendous
potential we have ,sitting there waiting to be discovered.

If you can determine what your talents are, you can tap into
an amazing resource that can help you in every aspect of your life, including
your business. Whether you are searching for the perfect type of business to
open or you want to find ways to grow the one you have, you may find the answer
in your personal talents.

HERE ARE 5 EASY STEPS TO UNCOVERING YOUR TALENT

1. Listen to others. You may be clueless about
your talent, but your friends aren’t. So always ask them. People around you usually notice more
things about you than you do; why else do you think they come to you or refer
someone to you when they need something done in a certain way? Have you ever
wondered why everyone wants you to help them negotiate that new car deal? Or
help them with the technical stuffs, or fashion advice? If you think about it,
people have likely been telling you that you are good at something for a long
time. You just weren’t listening. Now is the
time to listen!

2. What comes easily to you? Are there things
that you find really easy or obvious to do, while others may struggle or muddle
their way through? Just because you believe that they should be just as easy,
or obvious, for others, that’s not how it works. In this scenario, they
struggle while you stand there feeling like it was a cakewalk! If that’s you,
chances are that’s a talent. It’s a 70%/30% cast that it’s your talent, so
watch out for stuffs like that.

3. What you enjoy most. Your talents may be
demonstrating itself in other ways. For examples, are there magazine topics
that you just can’t get enough of? Are there shows you love? Think about what
it is that you love to do most when you have free time. If you are drawn
towards it, fascinated by it, and enjoy playing with it, exploring or
practicing it, it’s likely where your talent unfolds.

4. Shut up already! Is
there a specific subject that you love to talk about, often to the point that
your friends want to shoot you? Consider the subject, perhaps it may be one of
your hidden talents or is connected to one.

5. Just ask. Ask everyone you know who is willing
to give you an honest assessment about what they think your talents are. Ask
them to, for the moment, ignore your bad habits and have them share the one or
two things that they think you are hands down most talented at. Ask a lot of
people who know you, but always ask them one-on-one. Compile the results, and voila! There is your hidden talent!
